I was able to sprout both the round and long from old seeds this year, and all appear to be nice and healthy. I'll have lots of seeds for next year, so if you send me a note this fall, I'll send you some.

Just wanted to drop in and thank Craig again for sending me some of his Calabrian Chili seeds - I also planted some Calabrian seeds from ford's fiery foods and plants (link above). The peppers look (are shaped) the same but the leaves are not the same exact size/shape. There is ~a two week difference (Craig's seeds took longer to germinate) between them. I'm assuming the darker color will start to develop on the younger ones in a few weeks.

Green peppers are Craig's seeds, darker burgundy colored peppers are from ford's fiery foods and plants - it will be interesting to taste them side by side....... Power to the pepper!

Norm, how tall are your plants? Can you post a picture of the whole plant? I'm curious how they compare to mine.

Sure, but before I go grab some photos them I want to let you know that the ones (almost all the peppers) I put in the ground vice self-watering pots are really stunted this year - I think my automatic drip system malfunctioned - next year I plan to re-work it. Luckily I have two of your plants and two of the fords in pots (along with a pizza pepper plant and one we have not tried yet called - Antakie (from Antakya Syria). I'll snap some pictures and add to this post!

More pots in another location (no pictures included). Happy to answer any other questions or share seeds if anyone is interested...

I'll try, but I have never sent anything to the Netherlands before - I have not picked any (except one to taste) but they are ready to pick. I will dry the seeds before shipping. Just send your full shipping address to

We might be packing a parcel to ship to my daughter in ZaandamShe is a Pizza Party user.We are waiting on her to approve the gifts to be put in the package becauseits pretty expensive to send something not wanted or appreciated.We have the Tutto Calabria peppers and minced peppers hereand some seeds from Ford's Firey Foods.

There are some minced to be found in Little Italy store in Rotterdam - But thats a fair drive of an hour or so for your daughter presumably. If she really wants them she can get them there as well, which is what i do. Zaandam will be further so might as well drive to Rotterdam in that case thank you so much for the offer though.
